• Every time you send a newsletter, make sure the sender address is known, and that it is recognized by your recipients.

• A simple template in HTML is much more appealing than a template overloaded with images and graphics. It is important that the newsletters are made easy to read, without making it overwhelming and hard for your recipients to understand.

• Keep the text of the newsletter under 500 words, always trying to be brief and specific.

• End your writing with a call to action, it is better to have only one for each email sent and make sure that it is very well thought out, remember that the call is the main trigger to increase your conversion rates.

To Emailbrain, security is very important and it is essential for us to protect the information of our customers and make our email marketing application very safe. Therefore, Emailbrain does the following:

• When exporting a database, mailing list, statistics or invoices it is done by sending an email to the owner of the user account. That way, if someone accesses your account with bad intentions and tries to export the information to a different email address, it will be unsuccessful.

• We have a password change mechanism from the user profile.

• We have a log where all accesses are logged.

• It records the IP, the date, the time and details of each action occurred in the accounts.

• Our API is restricted for use exclusively from an IP or a range of IP’s. Similarly, the API has a different password to access the account.

• We have a recycle bin, which holds newsletters and contact lists for a few days if they are to be rescued, it empties automatically every Sunday.

• Client’s password changes every 3 months or if it is suspected that the password has been obtained by a third party, we recommend immediate replacement.

One of the biggest factors of email marketing success is to have all of your emails opt-in. You may be wondering what opt-in means, here is the explanation:

Opt-in is the act of agreeing by email or any other means to receive emails, or to give a particular individual permission to send you emails. There are several types of verification and some are more complex than others. Some people use double opt-in, which is when you subscribe you get an email with a link that you must click on to ensure the existence of the recipient.

Companies that follow anti-spam rules and have opt-in forms see that their campaigns generate better open rates and receive less unsubscribes. Let’s do a quick comparison of opt-in vs. not opt-in.

CTR is an indicator of response to a given email message. It is measured by the percentage of recipients that click on a link enclosed in the email. To determine the click through rate, you divide the number of responses by the number of emails opened and multiply the result by 100 to express it as a percentage.

Confirmed Opt In (or Double Opt In)

This formula of obtaining permission to send email messages and/or campaigns requires that the subscriber confirms his subscription by clicking on a confirmation link or by replying to a confirmation email, before you include them in your opt in list. See also: Double Opt in.

Database

A database is an organized collection of information stored in a computer, which can be accessed and consulted in different ways. In terms of email marketing, your database is the software where you store your records, forms and lists. There are numerous forms of databases, including MS Excel, Outlook, Outlook Express, Netscape, Oracle, and Sybase.

Double Opt In

“Double opt in” or “Confirmed opt in” is a means of additional security that consists in requiring that email accounts are first opened and later verified by means of a validation message via email that only the person who has access to the account can respond to. Double opt in is regarded as the gold standard for secure email marketing. (See also: Confirmed Opt in)

Email Campaign

When you build an email and send it to your recipients using EmailBrain this is defined as an email campaign. Your campaign may be a newsletter or may consist of offers. Some marketers may define a campaign as a series of email messages using a common theme, but in the EmailBrain system, any email sent is classified as a campaign.

Too frequent is too much and too late is too late. Don’t harass your subscribers with emails, do not follow them every hour with an email asking them to buy your products.

Often, toning down frequency if you are a regular mailer improves response rates. Don’t send newsletters in an untimely manner like super late or super early - like 10pm at night or 3am the morning, this could cause them to not take your emails into consideration in the appropriate times. Consequently, they might simply forget about your offer.
